Not only do these make VERY handy casserole carriers - but they make quick and easy baskets for other purposes too!

Make one of any size to hold:
Mail
Christmas cards
Notepads and pen - great gifts!
Hair accessories
Make-up
Paper plates
Napkins
Baby necessities - another great gift idea!
Guest toiletries (Mini shampoos, creams, soaps, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)
And many, many more purposes!

You can choose the worsted weight COTTON yarn of your choice for this pattern.

Gauge is unimportant - directions are included for helping you get the correct size for whichever casserole dish you are making the carrier for.

Smaller sized hook is recommended (for 3 strands of worsted weight yarn) so as to achieve a tighter woven carrier - one which will serve as a potholder and carrier in one!
